COMICS: Is No One Safe? Marvel Continue To Tease Plans To Kill Off DEADPOOL
Wolverine is going to be killed off any week now, and Marvel continue to tease us with the possibility that the Merc With The Mouth - who will make the leap to the big screen in 2016 - is also about to meet his maker! It doesn't sound like he has long left either. Hit the jump for details!
The Death of Wolverine has been delayed slightly, but Logan should meet his maker sometime in October. Who's next? Well, it sounds like Deadpool could be! In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Marvel SVP of Sales & Marketing David Gabriel was asked about the success of these types of stories (Captain America, Spider-Man and the Human Torch have all been killed off and returned in high profile comics over the past few years), and replied: "Speaking of death, we were just talking about the upcoming death of a character in March in issue 250 of a character with the word Dead in his name. Go figure." The site adds that March 2015 will see the release of Deadpool's 250th issue, so he definitely appears to be the likeliest candidate. Of course, the tone of the Merc With The Mouth's series is one of fun, so don't be surprised if the story simply parodies other "Death of..." storylines rather than taking out good old Wade Wilson for good. Either way, you'll know he'll be back in time for his movie! What do you guys think will happen?
